The event "Innovation and sustainability in the CARG Geological Cartography Project" will be held on 16 November 2023. The event aims to present the new technologies and innovative aspects of the Geological Mapping Project at 1:50,000 scale - CARG Project and its implications in terms of environmental sustainability. The CARG Project, through collaboration between public institutions and the world of research, applies digital systems and modern techniques for the acquisition, analysis and management of geological and geothematic data, generating new knowledge useful for the management, protection and enhancement of the environment. Collaboration with the business world also guarantees access to strategic information, processed and integrated thanks to the use of 3D modeling techniques, fundamental for the study of the subsoil, resources and geological hazards.

Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) for the detection of non-indigenous species in the context of Marine Strategy Framework Directive monitoring programs

Nov 09, 2023 from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM Online event,
As part of the three-year agreement 2021-2023 between the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, ISPRA and ARPA Lead partner for the implementation of Legislative Decree 190/2010 which transposes the European Framework Directive on Marine Strategy (Directive 2008/56 /EC), ISPRA in collaboration with the CoNISMa-UO Polytechnic University of Marche, the Edmund Mach Foundation and the ARPA has developed an environmental DNA metabarcoding protocol for the detection of non-indigenous species and the analysis of biodiversity, such as integrative and support tool for the traditional monitoring already foreseen for the Marine Strategy. The adopted protocol allowed the investigation of a wide spectrum of taxonomic groups, from Chromista to Chordata. The results obtained will be presented and discussed during the Workshop, highlighting the critical issues and potential of the methodology, as well as the prospects for their future use.
